The inside shots – taken by fashion photographer Mario Sorrenti – capture RiRi lounging nude on a deckchair, starkers (unless you count turquoise heels) by the pool, and posing on all-fours in a hyper-sexual position with legs spread as she thrusts her backside into the air.

Flooding her Twitter profile with the images, the Barbadian beauty stuck two fingers up to Instagram who deemed the snaps too rude to publish.

Similarly, Kendall Jenner's New York Fashion Week nipple-gate photos were censored from the social networking site in February.

Insta fans will know that community guidelines state: "If you wouldn’t show the photo or video you are thinking of uploading to a child, or your boss, or your parents, you probably shouldn’t share.

“The same rule applies to your profile photo. Accounts found sharing nudity or mature content will be disabled and your access to Instagram may be discontinued.”
